Default RE: Propeller Nut Lock Washer?

Lockwashers and nylon locknuts aren't even allowed to be re-used in some full-scale applications. Every time installed/removed they lose a bit of holding power. On a 2 stroke simply get the nut VERY tight as it is EXTREMELY difficult to damage the hardened steel treads of either the not or crankshaft. Many 4 strokes do use a jam nut system of some sort.
